I was hoping, for purely selfish reasons, that we would have a tremendous ice storm last night and I wouldn't have to come into the office today. Instead, I arrived at precisely 7:30 with my cup of Starbucks, to get a head start on the day. Bridges were a bit scary but my route was mostly clear.
I didn't sleep well last night. Work has been extremely discouraging lately and all night I tossed and turned with anxiety. But God's mercies are new in the morning! When I finally got going and came in to work this morning I felt a sense of peace sweep over me. Having to be at work at 8 A.M. has caused me to become a morning person and I find that I am most energetic, happiest, and optimistic in the morning. Now I need to find that same calm in the evenings. Night is when I usually lose my temper and begin to toss out all of the day's revelations.
To help my otherwise foul mood, Caleb surprised me last night with a new pair of nice black gloves (fleece lined!) and a pretty blue and white scarf. So sweet. I love early Christmas presents!
I'm also settling into the Christmas spirit with my new discovery of Pandora.com. You create your own radio station to listen to based off of a song, artist, or type of music that you enjoy. I typed in Celtic Christmas and lovely instrumental carols have been keeping my morning warm and cozy. I highly recommend!
Ah...I had better get that head start on the day.

Oh my goodness Casey! I didn't know you didn't know about Pandora! I am on there as well, although I don't listen as often as I should. Have I told you about thesixtyone.com? You can explore TONS of new music! It's addictive.
ReplyDeleteLove you darling! Ciao bella!
Well, the truth is...I've known for Pandora for some time but I haven't used it until this week. I am now hooked, however. It's like a magic radio!
ReplyDeleteLove you too!
